14: The Long family is caught in the crossfire

What Long Aotian feared in his heart truly came to pass.

Those Cultivators who entered the forbidden zone for training not only had the backing of Cultivation Families but also deep Sect backgrounds.

And not only that.

Lei Ao and Wang An also had close ties with the Lei Family and Wang Family, two of the Three Great Cultivation Families of the Thunder Dragon Royal City.

With Long Aotian's current strength, let alone facing the Three Great Cloud Sects, even facing the weakest Wang Family would be like an ant trying to shake a tree.

While Long Aotian was recovering his Divine Sense in the third-level spatial world of the Nine Treasures Glazed Chaos World Tower, the three Golden Core Realm powerhouses outside the Void Formation that isolated Divine Sense were still plotting for the Heaven And Earth Treasure in Immortal Severing Mountain and had not left.

Wang An frowned slightly, as if remembering something, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this place seems to be very close to the ancestral land of The Long family, one of the Three Great Cultivation Families of the Thunder Dragon Royal City.

Brothers, do you think this natural Spirit Medicine garden could be related to The Long family?

Could that Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse who released Divine Sense pressure be the Clan Chief of The Long family?

Or a Guardian God?

An Old Ancestor?

It is rumored that The Long family's Old Ancestor, Dragon War God, has already broken through to the Out-of-Body Realm.

The Long family rose to become one of the Three Great Cultivation Families of the Thunder Dragon Royal City in just over a hundred years.

I speculate that this natural Spirit Medicine garden might indeed be inextricably linked to The Long family!"

The more Wang An thought about it, the more he felt his guess was correct.

"The Long family?"

Lei Ao's brows also furrowed slightly.

Lei Ao, whose branch of his Cultivation Family was in the Thunder Dragon Royal City, had naturally heard of this Cultivation Family, but because his main Family was in the Imperial City, his understanding of The Long family was not as deep as Wang An's.

Wang An knew that The Long family's ancestral land, Long Village, was nearby, but he did not.

If this natural Spirit Medicine garden truly belonged to The Long family, then it would be a bit difficult to handle.

Especially after hearing Wang An say that The Long family's Old Ancestor had already broken through to the Out-of-Body Realm.

At this moment, Lei Ao, who came from one of the Five Great Cultivation Families of the Imperial City, and who should have been full of confidence, for the first time ever, felt a desire to retreat.

However, while Lei Ao wanted to retreat, Shi Jing, who didn't understand The Long family, didn't put The Long family in his eyes at all, and said with disdain, "Hmph, what kind of Long Family is that? Just a small Cultivation Family in a Royal City. If they dare to provoke our Five Great Cultivation Families of the Imperial City, wouldn't it be easy to wipe them out?"

"..."

Hearing Shi Jing's incredibly arrogant words, Wang An and Lei Ao were both stunned, then they exchanged glances, and when they looked at Shi Jing, their eyes were somewhat like looking at an idiot.

"What, am I wrong?"

Noticing that Wang An and Lei Ao's gazes towards him were a bit off, Shi Jing couldn't help but say arrogantly.

At this moment, even if he was wrong, he was right!

"Hehe, Brother Shijing is right. Each of the Five Great Cultivation Families of the Imperial City has strength comparable to one of the Three Great Cloud Sects. It is indeed easy to wipe out a small Cultivation Family in a Royal City."

Wang An said with an awkward laugh, stepping forward.

However, his seemingly complimentary words were actually somewhat insidious.

It was true that Shi Jing said the Five Great Cultivation Families of the Imperial City could easily wipe out a Cultivation Family in a Royal City, but Wang An was still here. When Shi Jing spoke of The Long family, he also included the Wang Family.

Although Shi Jing was not wrong, Wang An was simply displeased in his heart.

Since you, Shi Jing, are so amazing, then fine, go provoke The Long family and see if your Shi Family will have a time to cry then.

At this moment, Wang An couldn't help but recall the former structure of the Thunder Dragon Royal City... When The Long family was rooted and developing in the Thunder Dragon Royal City, they were very low-key. They understood how to bide their time extremely well. No other force in the Thunder Dragon Royal City knew of The Long family's terror.

Before this, the Three Great Cultivation Families of the Thunder Dragon Royal City were the Lei, Gu, and Wang families. As a result, a profligate Disciple of the Gu Family, for no good reason, provoked The Long family, and moreover, he used his influence to bully others, thinking The Long family were easy to bully, and wantonly killed a Long Family Disciple.

The Long family was not an unreasonable Family.

After learning that a Disciple of their Family had been killed, The Long family Clan Chief, who was Long Wudi at the time, directly led The Long family's ten Elders to demand an explanation, asking the Gu Family to hand over the person who killed The Long family Disciple, and to compensate and apologize to The Long family.

What was the result?

The Gu Family's Clan Chief, Clan Chief, and Elders all believed that for them, a dignified member of the Three Great Cultivation Families of the Royal City, to be demanded blood for blood and compensation and an apology by a Cultivation Family from a small place like The Long family, was truly a slap in the face to their Gu Family.

How could this allow their Gu Family to establish itself in the Royal City?

People from a small place, if they were killed, then they were killed.

What could The Long family do to their Gu Family?

The Gu Family not only refused to hand over the person, but also refused to compensate or apologize, acting as if they were certain The Long family wouldn't dare to offend the Gu Family, and told The Long family members who came to demand an explanation to get out.

At once, The Long family were directly enraged.

That day, The Long family immediately issued a Family Cultivator Disciple mobilization order. After all the Family Cultivator Disciples were in place, they directly declared war on the Gu Family, marching mightily towards the Gu Family.

Until the very end, even if the Gu Family wanted to beg for mercy, it was no use. Nine of the ten Family Guardian Gods of The Long family perished in that battle. Even with such heavy losses, The Long family did not stop their 瘋狂 actions.

Until they slaughtered the entire Gu Family, root and branch.

And thus, the unassuming Long Family replaced the Gu Family, soaring to become one of the Three Great Cultivation Families of the Thunder Dragon Royal City.

Furthermore, although The Long family suffered heavy losses in that battle with the Gu Family, with nine of their ten Family Guardian Gods perishing, purely based on The Long family's ruthlessness and excessive unity, even the Wang Family and Lei Family did not want to provoke these desperate madmen of The Long family.

When people assessed the strength of the Thunder Dragon Royal City's new Three Great Cultivation Families, they were actually unable to determine whether The Long family or the Wang Family was stronger.

Perhaps it wasn't that they couldn't determine it, but rather that they were awed by The Long family's excessive unity and desperate ruthlessness, and did not dare to rank The Long family below the Wang Family.

Shi Jing was not wrong in saying that the Five Great Cultivation Families of the Imperial City could easily wipe out Cultivation Families in a Royal City, but was The Long family an ordinary Royal City Cultivation Family?

If someone killed a member of The Long family without cause and did not give The Long family a reasonable explanation, that would absolutely be a disaster.

They would fight to the death with the other party, even at the tragic cost of their entire Family potentially being wiped out!

This was also why Lei Ao, who came from one of the Five Great Cultivation Families of the Imperial City, wanted to retreat after learning that the Spirit Medicine garden might belong to The Long family.

Of course, his desire to retreat was not a true desire to retreat, but rather that he could not decide if he could bear the consequences of offending The Long family.

Only by reporting to the Clan Chief could this decision be made.

His retreat was a personal retreat, letting the Family step up!

If the Lei Family of the Imperial City decided to pursue this Spirit Medicine garden, they naturally would not fear offending The Long family, and the Family would have people to resolve the trouble of The Long family.

Although Lei Ao had a hot temper, he was not without a brain.

While he valued Shi Jing, his long-standing rival who was stronger than him in cultivation, what he felt more in his heart was disdain.

This guy was the type of idiot who didn't put forces weaker than his Shi Family in his eyes and was incredibly arrogant... "These people are indeed from Cultivation Families. Two of the Five Great Cultivation Families of the Imperial City, the Lei Family and the Shi Family?"

Long Aotian's expression was very grim.

Although he had entered the Treasure Pagoda to restore his Divine Sense, his Divine Sense still silently enveloped this area, and he had not allowed Shi Jing and the others to discover it.

Naturally, he had heard all of Shi Jing and their conversations.

"The Five Great Cultivation Families of the Imperial City all have Old Ancestors in the Spirit Division Realm. If they want to destroy a Cultivation Family in a Royal City, it is indeed easy.

Although my Void Formation has broken through to the fifth level, if I face a Spirit Division Realm powerhouse, I still can't do anything to him.

Only by breaking through to a sixth-level Void Formation can I barely trap a Spirit Division Realm powerhouse. If I want to kill him, it's not impossible with some effort.

Damn it, these damned guys, this is forcing grandpa to become stronger..."
